Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts was productive, but the Oklahoma Sooners’ inability to recover an onside kick only helps Florida football.
The No. 5 Sooners fell to Kansas State, 48-41 Saturday in Manhattan.
And, while No. 7 Florida was idle, their opportunity to move a notch higher in the polls ahead of next Saturday’s square-off with No. 10 Georgia, in Jacksonville.
Barring any odd thinking by AP voters, because the Gators were off this week, they could jump a notch or two when the polls come out Sunday.
Oklahoma’s loss also helps with Florida’s run toward the BCS playoffs.
